Selecting a row programmtically

[Per Millard]

When setting ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.One and handling the CurrentCellMoving and CurrentCellActivating events to obtain full row selection, clicking a row will mark the whole row as selected by highlighting the entire row with a different background color.

How can you make this row selection programmtically i.e. how do you move the row selection to a specific row, just as if you clicked on it or move to it using the arrow keys ?

Hi Per

I'm using f.e. this command to move to the last row in the GDBG:
this.grdContacts.CurrentCell.MoveTo( this.grdContacts.Model.RowCount, 1 );

Regards,
Thomas

If the grid is not visible when you are making this call, also try setting grid.ForceCurrentCellMoveTo = true;

Did you try setting ForceCurrentCellMoveTo anyway? It may make things work.

Other things to try are to make sure the grid has focus (like grid.Focus()), or that the grid is the active control (like this.ActiveControl = grid where 'this' is the form).

Also check whether you target cell has style.Enabled = true.
